Lovely beeswax and citrus flavors glide along the palate, while lively acidity carries notes of cilantro and pea. Ends with a persistent, harmonious finish. Drink now through 2021.

The 2015 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel displays an intense and elegant bouquet of ripe and overripe apples. Medium-bodied, fresh and fruity, this is an elegant and pretty intense Veltliner with grip and tension. Although it tastes like a rather full-bodied Federspiel it has been bottled with a rather moderate alcohol level of 12% alcohol.
